Oncology Pharmacies Network in the Vasta Romagna Area: the case of Ausl-Ravenna and IRST concerning maintaining service continuity
Keyword(s):
At the end of 2010, due to a contingent critical situation in terms of shortage of pharmacists, affecting the oncology pharmacy of Ravenna, an effective system of network integration among the Ausl pharmacy in Ravenna and that of IRST came into place allowing for the continuance of therapies' preparation and supply. This result was possible thanks to the utilization by both pharmacies of one software, developed in Forlě by IRST through a previous professional integration study based on an uniform organizational model of oncology drugs preparation and control. In this experience the role of IRST and that of the regional network was essential.
